Heffalump:
I don't know what exactly Tinubu is still hoping to achieve beyond 2027. This aggressive poaching of Southern politicians will not save him. The only saving grace he might have is when Atiku continues to push for the presidency foolishly.

This line is becoming stale. Atiku Abubakar will be contesting the ADC primaries and he stands a big chance to win the primaries, freely and fairly. The best time for you to support Tinubu was yesterday and the next best time is now. Do not confuse having the loudest voice for having the numbers. Just make sure you strategically channel your votes as a region to where you stand to get the greatest advantage politically as a region, not individual interests. Tinubu and the Southwest were in opposition all through the years of PDP and still had to go through the VP route to clinch the presidency. In return, the North gave Tinubu 5.6m votes despite being rejected in the South. No party will reward the Southeast where it has not sown politically and power is not served on a plate. Politics is not an emotional sport. In politics, you have to give strategically, nurture it to bear fruit and then receive. Shettima is currently VP and he's "loyal". It's not a sign of weakness or subservience, it's strategy.

Peter Obi clocked Datti Baba-Ahmed a long time ago and that's why he left him at LP. He clearly connived with Wike and Abure to destroy the LP so he can get government patronage for his aviation university. He has been directly and indirectly insulting Obi ever since he left the LP. Datti was with the Abure-camp that has now been delegitimised in favour of the Nenadi-Usman camp. It doesn't matter anyways, Obi is with the ADC and he isn't coming back.

Svoboda:
These guys are lining up to eat enough and fatten their businesses with huge campaign funds they're anticipating from Tinubu. It'd be foolhardy for Tinubus people to actually believe that he even stands a 25% chance in any of the states in southeast.

All that branded buses will see their stickers removed and returned to their rightful owners as soon as the camera goes off. Man must wack and maga must pay. These are the kind of areas that they thrive in. Optics, PR and showbiz!

Umahi clearly pre-planned with the Senator from Ebonyi state. Hear him requesting for an executive session because he has a lot to hide. This is what they intended to cover with an all APC senate.

Lol. In the end, he reaffirmed that he would still not accept to work for Tinubu and only accepted the ambassadorial appointment because he will be working for Nigerians and not Tinubu. Slithering snake!

Seun: You once said you wouldn’t take any appointment from this government.

Reno: I didn’t say that. I said I wouldn’t work with Tinubu because it’s not in my DNA.

Seun: Has your DNA changed?

Reno: No. I’m working for Nigeria.👀👀

He's too influential otherwise, this one would have been swept under the carpet as usual. Kudos to SaharaReporters, the only news media still reporting on insecurity. All other media houses have been compromised and placed on payroll. Take out SaharaReporters and Agbadorians will tell you Nigeria is now 100% safe.

mascot87:
You need to get a job because been a nuisance on a daily basis ranting at every political thread on Nairaland will not help you. You are just crying everywhere like say them do you

Kindly stop stalking me from thread to thread and seeking my validation. I have never noticed your moniker and never will.

anonimi:
Ẹnu opurọ kii ṣe ẹjẹ, otherwise you would be bleeding 🩸 from your mouth and your fingers as well as every other part of your body.

You just busted the snake oil propagandist.

According to Agbadorians, Obi Cubana, Zenco and Cubana Chiefpriest will deliver the Southeast to Tinubu but Seyi Makinde cannot deliver Ibadan to ADC. Tinubu's top-down approach instead of a bottom-up will cost him dearly in 2027. When shady characters and people with questionable wealth start pledging support to Tinubu in exchange for access and legitimacy of their ill-gotten possessions, it is not a flex. It's desperation. Anyways, you know what they say about birds of a feather.

hoseao:
Hmmm well! The US can't come for you publicly and in a loud manner without evidence ! And when the noise becomes too loud they evidence will show face. Lets wait and we.

Says who? Did they find any weapon of mass destruction in Iraq after destroying the country and killing Sadam Hussein? Why did Barack Obama cite his killing of Muamar Gadafi as his single greatest mistake?

Hankim:
They actually want to end this man political career
Is the governor not enough for Agbadorians

They are just scared of him deputising Obi. Kwankwaso still owns Kano, and this will only make him more popular in the North. Even Abba Kabir still goes around with the red cap while Ganduje and Barau camps continue to fight. Kwankwassiyya is now fully in charge of Kano. If you know, you know.

seunmsg:
I just keep wondering what would have happened to our economy if we had taken Atiku and Peter Obi’s advice to follow the Argentina model. By now, Naira would have been completely worthless and our economy would have been in super depression. We really missed a bullet by voting against those two economic illiterates. In fact, every Nigerian should take some minutes out today to say a prayer of gratitude to president Bola Tinubu.

Lol. Is our economy not in depression? What was the dollar rate when he took over. I know you will say the naira was being defended but that's the job of the Central Bank and Tinubu is currently doing so. We have also incurred more debt now than under Buhari. Yet, Buhari was defending the naira and paying electricity and fuel subsidies. Where's the money going to? Here is Umahi accusing Wale Edun of failing to release money to his ministry. Several ministers have also been coming out in the past few days to tell us their ministries are underfunded. Meanwhile, we are still implementing 3 budgets concurrently. Propaganda will never take us anywhere.

Dave Umahi claims Wale Edun is not releasing money to them, which is why abandoned projects are everywhere but the President is unaware.

Me: They can't call his attention on FEC Meeting?

tuoyoojo:
This one is very strong o

For the engineers in the house, it is advised to pave the concrete roads with asphalt to make it smoother to drive on because all the concrete roads are I have driven on that this administration built are all bumpy

He merely brought the Abakaliki standard he did in Ebonyi to national limelight while being arrogant about it. All his concrete roads in Ebonyi have all failed, by the way. Even Nwufiru, his successor, had to redo the concrete airport runway that he Umahi initially built. Who builds an airport runway with concrete, for God's sake?!

damble:
Whoever that has been following past events would know kwakwaso has been an ambassador/advocate for both Hausa/Fulani. Wherever there's communal crisis, you would find him there to defend his tribal men. There's a kind of fear he usually put on host communities

When e reach your turn, do not defend your people as a national poltician. Allow them to gaslight you. The hausa and the Fulani are legitimate tribes in the Nigerian state unless you are encouraging pogrom. Here was Tinubu defending herders and blaming Evans as the originator of kidnappings. This was when he needed hausa/fulani votes.

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Depriest2020:
Umahi I've seen that company break and redoing places that have cracked on that, better send a supervisor that will monitor them 24/7.

Very very shoddy job by an incompetent and untested contractor.

You won't. The road that you revoked from Julius Berger and re-awarded to Infiouest construction company that nobody has ever heard of, is already beginning to fail in portions. The new concrete road being done now is bumpy, slow, poorly done and does not compare to the new asphalt technology Julius Berger introduced on that road with a 50-year warranty. What's worse is that it was re-awarded for almost the same sum Julius Berger was requesting for as contract variation due to naira devaluation. The only explanation is that Infiouest is a front for Umahi and he wants kickback.

Tinubu must realise that the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano road has sentimental value to Northerners. Aside from its strategic importance, it is one of the 3 legacy projects of late President Muhammadu Buhari. The other two being Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Second Niger Bridge. Despite the nepotism tag on Buhari, he completed the other two outside his own region while hoping his successor will do the same. Rather, Tinubu came and is solely focused on the 15 trillion naira coastal road in Lagos.

Cyberterror:
Why is it that only those who want to balkanize Nigeria and forcefully release the jailed terrorist Nnamdi Kanu from prison, are the ones supporting Peter Obi?

Sunday Igboho wanted to do the same too during Buhari until his Southwestern brother became president. Now he has been pardoned for treason and now supports Tinubu while Nnamdi Kanu remains incarcerated.

benardtotti:
Makinde will be beaten blue black in oyo state , it's obvious you dont know ibadan politics .and before you argue I grew up in Ibadan and I know what's up.

So it's possible for a sitting governor to be beaten blue back in his own state? Why then are we celebrating 30 governors? You see the hypocrisy now right?

Reno is never beating the allegations. We wonder why Tinubu surrounded his cabinet with characters like him. Birds of a feather, perhaps?

Agbadorians are bragging on Nairaland that it was Tinubu that supplied Kwankwaso's name to America while APC are pretending to be backing him online. We know as e dey go. Playing both sides, eh? Slithering snakes!

Is this the one Isaac Fayose called Malaysian Burger? He talks like a child and already told us why he's supporting Tinubu. He says he will be needing loans from BOI to expand his business. Shady characters associating with Tinubu so they can wash and legitimise their ill-gotten wealth. 90% of Tinubu's current supporters are only doing so for personal gain. He has no organic supporter anywhere.

Lol. What a slithering snake!

Lol. Having 30 governors is clearly not enough.

GUNITGuy:
Tinubu is going to win the entire south this time ....No doubt and all the Middle Belt states...
The other parties can go to court for all I care

I like how after all the parambulations, you all always arrive at the same conclusion. That Tinubu will only win if he rigs, even in his own Southwest region. Unfortunately for you all, it will not be enough.

GUNITGuy:
More reforms to come and that would be initiated by ...Tinubu....the south isn't your Stooge anymore ...You better get ready for a Tinubu Government post 2027...
Regional Government would take place and resource control ...You ignore Tax Bill You won't escape resource and Regionalism that I Guarantee you

Reforms? Which part of the South are you speaking about? Last time we checked, Obi won the South. Tinubu only won 4 Southwestern states. The North made him President with 5.6m votes.

Obaofaba:
Yes, anything to get ride of non state actors is welcomed.

One of the main reasons some people want a change of president is security.

Economy is stable, in infrastructure we have never had it better in less than 3 years and in education most especially tertiary is being funded by the federal government.

Okay o. Continue with the snake oil merchandising. We are lapping it up! The much touted revenue are all a ruse. We are still implementing 3 budgets with MDAs massively underfunded. Where are the monies going to? Tinubu is saving up for 2027.

Obaofaba:
Let me be the first person to break the news to you, no mortal can remove Asiwaju come 2027.

He will complete his terms.

No Nigeria president elected since 1999 has spent only four years except Yar'dua who spent less because of death.

Even Goodluck, as weak as he was, won in 2011.

Time is a gentleman, my friend. "No be by muscle dem dey use make prick stand."

Obaofaba:
One of your masters in on the trail of the US.

Asiwaju must have supplied them with all necessary intelligence to get him nailed.

If he personally come for him, people like you will cry witch hunting.

El Rufai is in trouble 😵‍💫.

Okay, keep the Confessions coming. So it was Asiwaju that supplied the U.S with the "intelligence?" We thought as much ever since he refused to defect to APC. Was that the deal he struck with the U.S to have them site a military base in Nigeria?

The10G:
But we're they arrested or not?
If you are innocent, nothing to be afraid of.

Were they? I wasn't aware. Last I checked, the EFCC chairman promised to resign if he fails to jail Yahaya Bello while nothing has been heard about Okowa since he defected to the APC. But know this clearly, Nigeria will never become a one-party state. We know all this is borne out of fear but 2027 is inevitable.

The10G:
Relax.... The laws is above any animal or person

Yahaya Bello is in Saudi Arabia while Okowa is a renewed hope ambassador for Southsouth region. The law is not whatever Tinubu says it is.

We are witnessing the making of Nigeria's own Paul Biya but some will prefer to continue to bury their heads in the sand. They never hated Abacha, they were just envious of him. They have since surpassed him in all vices.
